THE CAPITAL' JOURNAL, Salem, Oregon Flexible Price Support Gains OMAHA Wl Secretary of Agri culture Ezra Benson was headed back to Washington Thursday after a brief sales tour for the adminis tration's farm program which brought what he called "very heartening" response. Benson told a news conference in Omaha Wednesday night that while many still are opposed to the new program providing a flexible rath er than rigid price support system, he feels sentiment is "growing very markedly" for the plan. Dur ing the preceding two days he had made a number of appearances in Oklahoma and Nebraska. In his final talk of the tour, a banquet address to the Nebraska Farmers' Union, Benson declared "it is crystal clear that the present price support program is not Dro- tecting farm income and farm prices." i Despite all the effort and ex pense poured into it "farm inenm has dropped in five of the last six years." Rigid price supports were "clear ly not intended for he said, but were maintained "nn the assumption that all-out produc tion was necessary year after year." th'rou s.WV.v;.'.
